OT: safooty

[jo172]

Does anyone know why www.safooty.net isn't working?

And while we're at it why isn't asthecrowsfly working anymore?

Who cares, it is a poor promotion for the SANFL.

I'd say due to legal reasons the way some people over there carry on.

Care to elaborate

Just rumours.

Cheers mate

why is SA Footy a poor promotion for the SANFL? It's a brilliant site and it's safe to say there is more intelligence over there than there is here on Bigfooty and I don't mean this forum but there are some really idiotic trolls on here.

 

[Macca19]

I agree. Nothing wrong with safooty at all. It has a number of regular posters that work with clubs and have a fair bit to do with the SANFL.

 

[Brad-clare]

Yep an excellent site!

Yeah, you are thinking of FootySA.

Us mods do a great job in keeping SAFooty well above the crap that was posted on there (and miles ahead of what RoosterLad said)

Talking yourself up spelly

FootySA was a great site, the first SANFL forum (as far as I know anyway) but it was basically unmoderated. It was a different set-up to most forums which made it a bit more difficult I guess, there were some real idiots on that site which was unfortunate because it was great for a while.

It's a team effort, not me alone.

I was a very disappointed by some of the comments made on SA Footy last week by a particular poster who shall remain nameless (don't think they post here anyway).

 

[RoosterLad]

What were the comments about Rory?

 

[spell_check]

Labelling a particular umpire a racist cheat when an honest mistake was made. It isn't acceptable that umpires make mistakes like that, but to label someone a racist cheat like this user did is an unacceptable thing to do, especially when the said person runs the site.

He did calm down and delete those bits though.

Unlike admin on here...

 

[Dogwatcher]

Which thread was that Rory....can you link it please?

They were still disgraceful to even post in the first place.

Like Spelly said it's been edited now but some of the comments initially posted were nothing short of disgraceful.

A screen dump of his original post was sent to the SANFL for their reading.

 

[Dogwatcher]

I know the thread now.
Didn't see the original post, so can't comment.

Anyway, I still believe it's a decent site, and a good place for SA footy discussion at both league and regional levels.

 

[RoosterLad]

Yeah I know that thread but didn't see the original comment, or I don't remember it anyway. The guy who runs it is a top bloke anyway.

I'm sure the guy who runs it is a good guy and what he wrote might have been a heat of the moment thing, but still it wasn't good. As for the forum itself, well it's great, there's some really passionate supporters there and you can usually get any information regarding the SANFL, games, players, history or just about anything else you can think of

 

[RoosterLad]

Yes it would have been heat of the moment, the decisions cost Motlop another 3 goals.. 2 marks not paid (they were given as frees) and one was like Griff's last week, a quick kick in the goal square which was deemed as 'touched'. I'm sure he regrets the outburst, we all say things we regret at times.

You are right about the passion and info, no other site comes close anymore as footysa isn't the site it used to be. There are some people on there who know a lot about the history of the SANFL, and quite a few are close to the club. If you want to hear information first, you will have to sort through bullshit rumours from time to time, then that is the place to visit.

 

[Dogwatcher]

Redline - would you care to reveal your reasons for the dislike of the site....maybe the reasons behind the reasons?

 

[Dogwatcher]

BTW - it would seem the site's down again today.
